Description

Evah Pirazzi Gold strings have a synthetic multifilament fibre core. They produce a brilliant, golden tone with a full-bodied and big sound from the very bottom to the top of the register.

The great dynamic range of these strings allows skilled players to explore both the finest nuances of quiet passages and create powerful sonorities when playing close to the finger-board or using a strong bow arm.

Very short break-in time, even shorter than Evah Pirazzi and Obligato, combined with a very high level of tonal stability in all climatic conditions

Gold G-string: This G-string is wound with a pure gold wire. It offers a round and full tone. Silver G-string: very dynamic sound which emphasises a more brilliant tone

NEW Stainless Steel E-string: It has an excellent response and generates a refined and smooth sound right to the very top of the register.

P4193-21 Various covers on multi strand synthetic core. Ball or loop end E. Ball end A, D & G. All strings are medium tension and full size.

Using a loop end E? The use of a protector to prevent the tuner hook breaking the string is essential with loop end E strings. We cannot accept claims for strings broken by the adjuster hook. Click here to purchase this item.

Very good strings

Pros: This set was recommended by my son's violin teacher. The strings sound warmer compared to Dominant strings on my son's violin. The strings are also very responsive.

Cons: Not sure what happened but the E string snapped after 3 days.

These are the strings for my violin

Pros: Excellent tone on my 19th century violin.

Cons: Took a few days to play in.

Other: Having stuck with Eudoxa for years on the recommendation of a teacher, I've been trying out different strings to see for myself what suits my violin. Once played in these make it sing and the tuning seems to be very stable.

Excllent

Pros: I have used this for several years now. It both fits my delicate, old Italian violin from around 1700, and my powerful replica of il Canone by Joseph Sitt from 1874, one of his last ones.

Cons: None

Faulty A strings, wear out fast, but great sound.

Pros: Beautiful sound. Strings settle quickly.

Cons: These wear out very fast. Also, I seem to have bought 2 faulty A strings in a row. Both have unravelled after just a few weeks. Very annoying as they are so expensive.

THESE STRINGS ARE WORTH 96 QUID A SET

Pros: The best strings I have encountered in 67 years of playing. Big tone, sonorous and comfortable on the fingertips.

Cons: The A string has still not settled after 3 weeks. In 2 days, it descends from A to F sharp. It is not peg slip as I have geared pegs.

Other: Stringzone is a delight to deal with.

A reliable investment

Pros: I find the Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold Violin Strings, SET, utterly dependable. Their sound quality is right for playing my violin of 1898, particularly for chamber music. Moreover, they settle to pitch very quickly - half a day's playing is sufficient. They will see me through at least a couple of years. Ordering the strings from local music shop would be very slow and hugely expensive. Ordering direct from the StringZone was the answer.

Cons: None

good strings - prefer the standard Evahs though

Pros: Great range of tonal colours, the A&E were particularly clear yet warm, some good thick power from the D&G. Fast break in time

Cons: Lacking in power on the d&G compared to the standard Evahs
